Idaho Public Education Coalition
WHAT WE’ll DO
It’s Time to Start a Serious Discussion About the Future of Public Education in Idaho.
We’re proposing a grassroots approach with the creation of the Idaho Public Education Coalition. Legislators and educators will return to their communities, ask real questions, and listen. We’ll gather that input through a statewide survey available in May and regional meetings with parents, educators, students, administrators, and other community members. This data will provide the critical foundation for future policy.

Imagine schools focused on real-world experience rather than standardized tests—what hands-on learning opportunities, apprenticeships, or community-based projects would you want to see for Idaho students?
What would it look like if we could rebuild Idaho’s education system from the ground up without direct regard for funding, regulations, or tradition?
If every student had a personalized education plan based on their passions, strengths, and career goals, how would that change the way we teach, mentor, and prepare them for the future?
How could Idaho’s businesses, parents, and community organizations work alongside educators to create a more dynamic, relevant, and opportunity-driven education system? What partnerships could redefine educational outcomes?
What if learning wasn’t tied to a classroom, a grade level, or a strict schedule? Could we design an education system that allows students to learn at their own pace, in their own way, and from a variety of settings?
What would you consider the primary purpose(s) of our Idaho Public Education System?
If you could prioritize three changes for Idaho education, what would they be?
